Building Construction. 





Tis hardly necessary to call attention to the general and rapidly increasing use of 
reinforced concrete for all classes of buildings. Warehouses, office buildings, and 
factories all lend themselves to this construction, as in fact does any structure when 
durability, strength, and a low fire risk are desired. The Corrugated Bar adapts itself 

to such construction admirably, and appeals to architects and engineers by reason of its 
simplicity and straightforward way of attacking the problem. The economy and security 
attained when the Corrugated Bar is used are also strong factors with the owner as well 
as with the contractor. 

In the succeeding pages will be found details of floor construction applicable to all types 
of building construction, and some information regarding reinforced concrete foundations and 
extended footings. References to tables for the rapid designing of reinforced concrete floors 
will be found under the various illustrations showing the different types of floor con- 
struction. 

The illustrations following are meant to convey some idea of the application of concrete, 
reinforced with the Corrugated Bar, to building construction.

OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT 





























Gent lemen:-— 

As a result of the fire and water tests on Dec. 26th, 1905, 
under the supervision of this Bureau, your form of reinforced concrete 
construction, known as the Corrugated Bar System, is approved for 
general use in the Borough of Manhattan, as 2 fireproof construction. 

This approval is issued in accordance with the Regulations 
of this Bureau, and on condition that such construction is made in ac- 
cordance with these Regulations, and such construction and the strength 
of the same is determined in accordance with these rules and regulations; 

Further, that all steel used in the construction shall be 
surrounded on all sides with at least one inch of conerete in the slab 
construction and at least one and one-half inches in the beam, girder 
and column construction; 

Further, that no column used in this construction shall be 
less than ten inches; 

Further, that the minimum thickness of slab and floor con- 
struction shall be three and one-half inches. 

Your reinforced cinder construction as tested is approved 
for general use in the Borough of Manhattan, as a- fireproof floor con- 
struction, for spans up to eight feet and live loads of one hundred 
and fifty pounds per square foot, provided it is constmicted as tested 
and in accordance with the specifications on file in this Bureau. A 
detail of the construction, as approved by this Bureau, is enclosed 


herewith.

Railroad Structures. 


N no class of reinforced concrete construction does the question of vibration and shocks 
and consequent apprehension as to the destruction of the adhesion between the concrete 
and steel enter so largely as in railroad work. It is not surprising, then, that railway 
engineers were among the first to recognize the many advantages of the Corrugated Bar, 
and that it is now considered the standard of excellence, which other forms of bar reinforce- 
ment vainly strive to approach. 

The subject of reinforced concrete construction was discussed at the Seventh Session of 
the International Railway Congress, held in Washington, D. C., May, 1905, and resolutions 
in favor of such construction were adopted. We quote one paragraph: 


‘Railroad practice shows that carefully built reinforced concrete structures give excel- 
lent service and require almost no maintenance. For this reason the use of reinforced concrete 
should be recommended, even if the cost of construction should, exceptionally, be higher than 
for another system of construction.’’ 


In railroad work it is also often necessary to develop the full stress in the reinforcement 
in a short length of bar, and we wish to call the attention of railroad engineers to the superior 
bonding value of the Corrugated Bar, as evidenced by the recent tests on bond made by Prof. 
C. E. DePuy, and referred to on page 6 of this catalogue. The preceding sentence applies 
not only to the main reinforcing bars, but with equal force to shear members, stirrups, etc., 
and especially so as the length of these secondary members is restricted in most cases by the 
depth of the beam. 

The following illustrations are typical and show the adaptability of Corrugated Bar rein- 
forced concrete construction to all classes. of railway work. We desire especially to call atten- 
tion to the growing popularity of reinforced concrete trestle work, and short span, flat slab 
girder designs for permanent way construction.

Miscellaneous Structures. 


NDER this heading are included such constructions as highway bridges, viaducts, 
reservoirs, canals, tunnels, sewers, dams, etc. The permanence and reliability of 
concrete reinforced with the Corrugated Bar, not to mention the economy that can 
be effected in most cases, make it especially desirable for public improvement work, 

and, in fact, for all construction when the above qualities, combined with practically no main- 
tenance charges are to be considered. One of the great advantages of reinforced concrete, 
making it especially suitable for waterworks constructions and long retaining walls, is that, 
when properly reinforced, it will not develop cracks from shrinkage, temperature or other con- 
tributory causes. The high elastic limit and great bonding value of the Corrugated Bar makes 


it beyond question the best and most economical reinforcement for such use. 


The illustrations following are intended to show a variety of structures in which the Cor- 
rugated Bar was used, and we have endeavored to select typical constructions rather than strik- 


ing or imposing works.
